Hello, Jaguars!

I am excited to begin the 2025-2026 school year! 

I have a Master of Arts in Teaching degree and ten years of public school teaching experience.  I even taught one year of ELL in Yamanashi, Japan! 

I teach standard and honors 8th grade English Language Arts. I am also the head coach for the Journey girls soccer team and the First Priority club sponsor.

I enjoy spending my free time with my husband and two children.  My daughter is a freshman at the University of Alabama, and my son is a 7th grade student here at Journey.  We have a golden retriever named Dug who loves all the attention he can get!  We like to travel whenever we get the chance.

I look forward to fostering a creative community where students can continue to develop their skills while practicing a growth mindset.

It's going to be a great school year!
